Question regarding Hyperlink bahavior on Visualforce page - how to open in new window (not tab)?

Hello, 

I would like to create a hyperlink on one of my VF pages where upon click a new window opens that is 500px X 500px.  This will be for a "Help topic" - but I can not seem to figure out how to force the hyperlink to open in a new window and not a new tab.  

I tried using something like this:  
<b><apex:outputLink onclick="window.open(URL,'/apex/Probability_Guide','width=500,height=500')">Prob%</apex:outputLink></b>

And the new window is opening properly, but the page displayed in the new window is just a repeat of the page where the link resides.  How do I direct the new window to open /apex/Probability_Guide?

Thanks in advance!

John
